Things to Do in Dorset with Toddlers and Children of All Ages
Whether your little ones love animals, castles or beaches, Dorset delivers. Here are my top 10 recommendations for family attractions in Dorset:
1. Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park
Ideal for toddlers. Cuddle animals, take tractor rides and enjoy indoor soft play.

Meet rescued horses, enjoy feeding sessions, and explore adventure zones.
3. Weymouth Beach
Safe, sandy, and family-friendly. It’s one of the best beaches in Dorset for paddling and seaside fun.

Home to over 250 rescued primates. It’s fun, educational and great for all ages.
6. Adventure Wonderland, Bournemouth
Perfect for children under 10. Rides, characters and seasonal events.

Step back in time. A great spot for a castle picnic and scenic views.
8. Abbotsbury Swannery & Subtropical Gardens
Feed baby swans in spring or wander through beautiful subtropical gardens.

Why Precious Memories Training in Dorset Is Unique
You’ll receive expert 1-to-1 tuition in a peaceful setting. Training lasts a few hours each day, leaving time to explore. Families often stay nearby and love how the area blends relaxation with entertainment.
